•
9600 baud
•
No parity

5
Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide
6
Set the following parameters:
•
IP address and subnet mask of the Ethernet switch(es)
—
For Ethernet switch for CNA, the defaults are 198.152.254.240, 255.255.0.0.
—
For Ethernet switch for CNB, the defaults are 198.152.255.240, 255.255.0.0.
•
IP address of the trap receiver. (Do not use the Active Server IP address.)
—
For Ethernet switch for CNA, this is the IP address of media server 1. (default is
198.152.254.200)
—
For Ethernet switch for CNB, this is the IP address of media server 2. (default is
198.152.255.200)
•
SNMP community string for Get, Set, and Trap. (See the section on SNMP commands on
the documentation CD that comes with the Avaya Ethernet switch.)
SECURITY ALERT:
!
The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of
Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords
for their respective SNMP operation. It is always a good idea to change these community
name strings to something other than the default values. If a Network Management Station
(NMS) is in operation on the network, whatever these strings are changed to must be
communicated to the NMS administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could
create a serious security issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with
its widely known value of Private, could be used to reconfigure the Ethernet switch via
SNMP message.
7
Set spanning-tree to disabled (default is enabled)
Use the command
set spanning disable
.
8
If IP Connect, make sure all appropriate ports on the Ethernet switch are locked to 100 speed
using full duplex.
9
When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the Ethernet switch.
10
If two Ethernet switches are present for CNA, repeat steps 1 through 7 for the second switch.
11
If a duplicated control network, repeat steps 1 through 9 for the remaining Ethernet switch(es).
